Abstract excerpt
Mutations in GJB3, the gene encoding the gap junction protein Connexin 31 (CX31), have been pathogenically linked to erythrokeratodermia and non-syndromic autosomal dominant (DFNA2) or recessive hereditary hearing impairment (HHI). To determine the contribution of CX31 to sporadic deafness, we assessed 63 individuals with non-syndromic hearing impairment for CX31 mutations. Single coding exon of CX31 was...
